How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Capel

Why choose a fish and chip van in Capel?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A van that becomes part of the event

Questions from Capel
Is Capel too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Capel?
Ockley station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send round an allergy question
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Ask facilities about access
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
